Writing Tools

Pens

Pens come in a few different colors, black or blue by default, and some departments will be provided with red pens.

Crayons

Crayons work much like pens, except that they are always bold, and lack the list, horizontal rule, and small tags.

Writing

Writing is performed by using any writing tool on paper, with any standard writing utensil.

Centering

To center text, enclose it with the [center] and [/center] tags.
For example:

[center]Centered text.[/center]
Centered text.

Lists

To create a list, enclose [*] tags with the [list] and [/list] tags.
For example:

[list][*]Bullet one.[*]Bullet two.[/list]
  • Bullet one.
  • Bullet two.

New Lines

To start text on a new line, use the [br] tag.
For example:

Line one.[br]Line two.

Line one.
Line two.

Horizontal rules

To add a horizontal rule, use the [hr] tag. For example:

Before line.[hr]After line.

Before line.

After line.

Bold

To bold text, enclose it with the [b] and [/b] tags.
For example:

[b]Bold text.[/b]

Bold text.

Italics

To italicise text, enclose it with the [i] and [/i] tags.
For example:

[i]Italics text.[/i]

Italics text.

Underlining

To underline text, enclose it with the [u] and [/u] tags.
For example:

[u]Underlined text.[/u]

Underlined text.

Large Text

To embiggen text, enclose it with the [large] and [/large] tags.
For example:

[large]Large Text.[/large]

Large Text.

Small Text

To shrink text, enclose it with the [small] and [/small] tags.
For example:

[small]Small Text.[/small]

Small Text.

Signature

To sign your name, use the [sign] tag.
NOTE: A very useful but very overlooked feature of signatures, is that you cannot fake someone else's signature.
For example:

[sign]

John Smith

Field

To insert a field from where you can start writing, use the [field] tag.
For example:

[field]

[field] tags are not visible when reading a paper, but when writing on said paper a [Write] button will be visible, similar to the button at the bottom of the paper.
These become useful as on a normal paper without any [field] tags, you are unable to write anywhere but at the bottom of the paper.
Commonly used for request forms.

Failure

Failure to use something as simple as the [br] line break tag will look like this:

Hey can you help me?
I can't hear anything
and the Dermaline pills you left on the desk didn't help at all

Hey can you help me?I can't hear or say anythingand the Dermaline pills you left on the desk didn't help at all

Correct Way

Hey can you help me?[br]
I can't hear anything[br]
and the Dermaline pills you left on the desk didn't help at all[br]
[br]
[sign]

Hey can you help me?
I can't hear or say anything
and the Dermaline pills you left on the desk didn't help at all

John Smith
